Libgdx - Cannot cast MapLayer to TiledMapTileLayer

I am trying to use Tiled with my Libgdx game. I am having trouble with this line of code:

TiledMapTileLayer layer = (TiledMapTileLayer) tiledMap.getLayers().get(0);

I am getting this error:

Exception in thread "LWJGL Application" java.lang.ClassCastException: com.badlogic.gdx.maps.MapLayer cannot be cast to com.badlogic.gdx.maps.tiled.TiledMapTileLayer

I am using Libgdx 0.9.9

Solution

  • Is the layer a tile layer or an object layer? Only tile layers will be instances of TiledMapTileLayer.
